I bought a DVD burner today. With all the video stuff I do, I'm a little surprised at myself that I didn't buy one sooner. But I think I'm satisfied enough with how much the price of a DVD burner has gone down to have bought one. No more sacrificing video quality in order to fit something in a CD. Plus I get to play around with creating DVD menus and stuff. Now if only DVD media would go down in price even more...
There were a couple of things that I noticed while watching The Passion for the second time last night. I realized that having it subtitled worked very well in having the audience pay more attention to what was being said. Having the dialogue written on the screen seemed clearer. There was not much of "What did he say?" type of questions. Also, the audience response at the end was different this time around. Last week, when the movie ended, everyone was clapping, and people filed out of the movie theater like usual. On the other hand, there was a silence over the entire theater last night. Except for a couple of people, no one got up from their seats until the very end of the credits. These showings were at two different theaters, but from what I understand, the second one was the more common response.
